When the little girl went, she brought out their young lady, and there was more than one young lady, both sisters from the Fu family came.
Miss Fu Er glanced at the big head and the others who were following Man Bao, and her eyes fell on Bai Shanbao, but she didn't look too much, she was older than them all.
"Man Bao, what are you doing at home?" Second Miss Fu thought that Man Bao was very clever, and although she was young, she liked talking to her very much.
She didn't go out, but stood at the door and talked to Man Bao outside.
Man Bao told her with her fingers how busy she was these days.
When Miss Fu heard that Man Bao was studying, she also looked at her seriously.
"Then will you come before the Chinese New Year?" Second Miss Fu said, "Our family will have a lot of guests during the Chinese New Year, and many of my friends will come. I just want to buy some candies before the New Year."
"Come here, I want to buy new year's goods." Man Bao said: "Then don't you eat before Chinese New Year?"
"Food, then you can leave ten packets for us." She said: "My grandmother and the others have all gone back to their hometown, and my cousin and the others have also left. We don't have much to eat."
Man Bao agreed, but this is not too small, four hundred and fifty Wen.
The little girl took a look at Man Bao, and counted four and a half strings of money to her. Man Bao grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to her, and continued to chat with Miss Fu, "How do you spend Chinese New Year?"
The two chatted for a long time, and finally the two ladies got tired of standing, and Man Bao also felt that the time was almost up, so he took his leave and left.
The rest of the candy, Datou and Daya decided to sell it in the market. Daya and Erya had often come to the county to sell flower baskets, so they were quite familiar with those children.
However, some people may not be willing to eat a penny and a piece of candy, but they still have to give it a try.
As for the price reduction, they never thought about it, because if the price was reduced here, wouldn't Second Miss Fu lose money
The business of the Fu family is a fixed and long-term business. Man Bao himself knows this, so he asked the big head and the others not to lower the price, and would rather not sell it and save it for the next time.
Bai Shanbao was still somewhat interested in doing business, so he took a bag of candy to experience it, and then went to the bookstore with Man Bao at noon, and the two of them went in for a walk, and after they came out, Bai Shanbao bought a lot of them. There are few things, and there are two books in it.
Man Bao couldn't afford books with her money, so she didn't spend a penny.
As soon as he turned around, he took Bai Shanbao to the cloth shop, "I want to buy cloth and cotton for my mother."
Bai Shanbao touched the purse in his arms and asked, "Should I buy this for my grandmother too?"
"Are your grandmother and mother short of clothes?"
"No shortage."
"Then don't buy it, buy what you need, so that they will be happy."
Bai Shanbao thought about it carefully, and said, "My grandmother and the others don't lack anything."
"That's great," Man Bao said enviously, "Then let them buy whatever they like."
Bai Shanbao said seriously: "They like me."
Man Bao laughed loudly, "Then you can give you to your grandmother and mother."
Bai Shanbao felt that this was not good, it meant that he didn't buy anything.
He walked around behind Man Bao, watched her carefully select the fabric, said that her mother didn't like this color, and her mother didn't like the ones that were too thin, so he said, "What do you think my grandmother and mother would like?"
"If it were me, I would like to eat!"
The proprietress of the cloth village greeted the two of them, listening to the two children's children's talk, she couldn't help laughing and said: "If the young master has enough money, he can buy some jewelry for the elders. There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry. .”
Man Bao raised his head and asked, "What is jewelry?"
"It's just wearing pearl flowers on the head, gold hairpins, silver hairpins and so on."
Man Bao reached out and touched her little head. Her hair was fluffy, because her father insisted that her hair was raised by blood, and cut her hair every once in a while, and said that she didn't need it until she was seven years old. Specially grow hair.
But now it is winter, and Man Bao hasn't cut her hair for several months. At this time, her hair has just covered her neck. There are no golden hairpins or silver hairpins in Zhou's family. Jewelry
Man Bao and the proprietress gestured at her mother's stature, quickly cut a piece of cloth, and bought two catties of cotton, and excitedly went to see the jewelry with Bai Shanbao.
The big girl who followed behind put the fabric and cotton in the back basket, and followed them to the silver building next door.
But Da Ya and the others took a look at the things inside, and didn't dare to go in for a while.
Man Bao didn't realize it, and even pulled a big girl, and everyone went in to look at the jewelry placed inside.
Manbao was still young and couldn't understand the beauty of jewelry, so he was blinded like Bai Shanbao. In the end, Da Ya gave some advice, and Daji also gave some pointers. Bai Shanbao bought something for his grandmother and mother respectively, and successfully put All the pocket money I had accumulated was spent.
He also sighed with Man Bao, "I have saved all these for the past few months, but I spent them all today."
Man Bao comforted him, "It's okay, I also spent all my money, we just earn more."
"But you can sell sugar, what can I sell?"
"Then you and I will plant ginger and yam." Man Bao put her hopes on these two crops. She also felt that the money from selling sugar was too slow, and it was not enough for her to buy meat, so she thought Keke's suggestion is more reliable, "Your family is so powerful, you can let them go out to find yam seeds, if you can find them, you can plant a little in your yard, and you will be able to harvest a lot next winter Yes, otherwise you can grow ginger, I have seeds, I can give you some."
"Plant in my yard too?"
"Yeah, there are only three people in your family, and you live in such a big, such a big yard. What a waste if the yard is empty, but raising chickens and ducks is too smelly, and I don't like it at all. Let's grow ginger."
Bai Shanbao thought her suggestion was good, nodded and said: "Then you have to help me, I don't know how to grow."
Man Bao, who has already planted it once, nodded confidently: "No problem, and ginger is quite expensive. The most important thing is that it can be harvested in summer, and it grows very fast."
The two talked about planting ginger for a long time, and at the end of the walk, they found that they were a little hungry, because they came to the county town, so the Bai family didn't prepare any food for Bai Shanbao.
The Zhou family knew that Manbao had money, and they didn't want her to eat cold and hard buns in the cold, so they didn't prepare any for her.
In the end, Man Bao asked Datou Daya for their opinions, and wanted to use the money given to them to buy buns.
Man Bao bought fabric and cotton for nearly 300 yuan, and the rest of the money was to be shared equally among the four of them.
The big head and the others reluctantly agreed, they can't let my sister-in-law go hungry, can they
However, in order to prevent my sister-in-law from spending money indiscriminately, Datou still asked Man Bao to share the money with them on the spot after buying the buns, and then handed them over to her for safekeeping.
Datou and Daya know that although the money is still in my sister-in-law's hands, as long as she keeps the money that has been distributed, it is not her money in my sister-in-law's heart.
At this moment, Man Bao is really gone.
